{captivated audience}
So. The Bachelor happened again last night. It was, after all, a Monday. Here are the highlights, with guest quotes from my brothers (Jeremy and Josh) and my sister-in-law (Christina). [WARNING: THERE ARE A FEW SPOILERS AT THE END]
-Sean stands on the edge of the boat-
Dad: It’s not the Titanic, Sean.
Zack: I’m the king of the world!
Sean: “I could see us with little kids running around…”
Zack: Little Seans running around carrying dumbbells with perfectly chiseled abs.
Dad: Who IS Sean?
Me: He owns his own furniture company.
Dad: Is he Amish?
Lindsay: “When I was an adolescent, the war started.”
All of us: What war?? World War 1? Who says “the war?”
Sean, to market lady in Thailand: “How do you say “Thank you?”
Lady: “Kha!”
Jeremy (in Sean voice): Now I know Thai!
-When Sean and Lindsay eat off of the same piece of fruit, at the same time-
Christina: How do you even do that?
Zack: That’s how Katie and I eat all of our fruit.
-Sean and Lindsay are at a beach with a bunch of monkeys-
Christina: Ooh, monkey beach.
Zack: All of a sudden, there’s like 80 of them. Uhh, we should go…
Sean: “We have monkeys just feet away from us.”
Jeremy: That’s my dream. Monkeys on a beach.
Me: His face is so shiny and red.
Christina: He probably has a fever from feeding the monkeys.
Lindsay: “It doesn’t get any better!”
Zack: Yes it does! He’s got 2 more dates!
Jeremy: They’re best friends now?
Lindsay: “I feel like I’m in a movie.”
Zack: You’re on a TV show. That’s pretty close!
Lindsay (reading the date card): “If you choose to forego your individual rooms…”
Me (in Lindsay voice): What does “forego” mean?
Sean: “You could be my best friend”
Josh: One of my 3 best friends.
Dad: I can’t take it any more.
Zack: Wait, she’s a personal organizer? “Put that there, put that there, give me 20 bucks.”
Jeremy (when Sean and AshLee are swimming and Sean gets a floaty bag): I like how he’s holding on to the flotation device.
Zack: He shakes her off. “You’re weighing me down.”
Jeremy: Sean just cares about Sean.
Christina: He’s saying the same thing to all of them.
Dad: It’s a script.
AshLee: “Sean’s my soulmate.”
Christina: You have NOT met enough guys. It’s cus she’s 33. “Man, if I don’t get picked, I’m never getting married!”
Christina: He’s always shirtless, wet…
Sean: “I can see myself marrying you.”
Zack: He’s not supposed to say that! The producers are shakin’ in their boots!
Christina (on Sean’s smooth talking about the fantasy suites): He knows what to say to get her in that room.
Jeremy (when Sean is looking at each framed picture of the girls): Time for Sean to consult the pictures.
Christina (on AshLee’s gap): That is a HUGE gap! There’s like a good 2 inches there!
Dad: Oh, Sean. Go take a shower and think about it.
Christina: AshLee looks like such a mean girl. That’s quite the stank eye she’s got.
Zack (on AshLee being cray): She takes out a knife and stabs him. “Nobody will have you!”
Annnnd that was our Monday night. After the Bachelor, we watched some Downton (we’re in the 2nd season, so no spoilers, please!) I’m going to miss my siblings when they go back home, boo.

p.s. Enter my Target gift card giveaway! It ends tonight!
Ha Ha this was funny!! It’s much more fun watching it with friends or family!
Agreed!! Way more fun!
xo
watched my first episode last night and I’m with your dad…. “I can’t take it anymore.”
hahaha I love it!
xo
I really wished I watched The Bachelor so I actually knew what these comments were about. :) Even still, they’re pretty hilarious!
I tried to make it so that it made sense even if you don’t watch :) For the most part haha
xo
I don’t watch the show but I always look forward to these posts hahaha!
Aww you’re so sweet!! :) That makes me happy!
xo
love it. I had some of the very same sarcasm remarks. sadly I have to watch it alone. we’re you surprised at whom he sent home?

Great minds! ;) And bummer that you have to watch it alone! It’s way more fun with men haha and I totally picked who got sent home. She was cray
xo
Haha I would have LOVED to be there watching with your family! Sounds like my kind of Bachelor watching night! And please tell me that you and Zack really do eat all of your fruit like that- I would love you even more ;)
hahaha ummmm I wish I could say that we do, but alas. We’re not quite that sicky-cute… yet.

These were pretty hilarious :) I also noticed AshLee’s gap by declaring, “Holy Moses what are her boobs doing?” They were about as aggressive as her leaving when she wasn’t chosen. I also think it’s a little strange, that late in the game, to have framed pictures in the deliberation area. Um, you should know their names and faces by now. I wasn’t surprised that Lindsay said “the war” since she comes from a military family and her father is a general (although I don’t think Sean will pick her). Being in the military myself, it’s often a forefront topic, although I feel like people mention the frequency of deployments versus saying “I’m off to war.”
ha! Yes, that gap was way too much. And yeah, I totally get that about Lindsay. Just, when I think of “the war” I think like WW1 or WW2, you know? But it makes sense. :)

Cute blog!

Aw thanks!

Per usual, love the commentary :) What are we going to do when it’s all over?! I don’t even want to think about it, lol. But seriously. I had a good laugh when AshLee got in the van “This wasn’t a game to me. I didn’t come here to have a good time and giggle and laugh.” (or something like that)
(whoops-posted before finishing) … that was the one place where my husband commented, “Well, maybe you should have lightened up a bit and laughed a little… seems like that’s all Sean wants.”
OMG love your husband’s commentary. That is exactly what I thought, too! And I guess we’ll have to find something equally as terrible/addicting when this is over. ;)
xo
so stinkin funny. i always write down the things jeff says during my shows….makes me laugh so much. my favorite here is “oh sean, go take a shower, and think about it” your dad is hilarious :)
Isn’t he?! He complains about how much he hates the show, but stays and adds the best commentary anyway. I love my daddio!
xo
Hahaha – I should just read your recaps instead of watching the show!
